Abstract:
Raman spectroscopy is gaining more traction in the analysis of industrial processes, due to the speed of measurement and the stability of the device. Natural gas is an important energy source, and its accurate analysis is essential to producers. Raman spectroscopy requires no consumables and can analyze C1-C6+, nitrogen and CO2 in seconds. Furthermore, data analysis can be simplified to simple peak integration routines. We will present case studies of the use of a mobile Raman analyzer in a truck bed performing compositional analysis at wellhead sites and a comparison of results between Raman and GC
